1 LM296 3A Step-Down oltage Regulator GENARAL DESCRIPTION The LM296 series of regulators are monolithic integrated circuits that provide all the active functions for a step-down (buck) switching regulator, capable of driving a 3A load with excellent line and load regulation. These devices are available in fixed output voltages of 3.3,, 12, and an adjustable output version. Requiring a minimum number of external components, these regulators are simple to use and include internal frequency compensation, and a fixed-frequency oscillator. The LM296 series operates at a switching frequency of 10 khz thus allowing smaller sized filter components than what would be needed with lower frequency switching regulators. Available in a standard -lead TO-220 package with several different lead bend options, and a -lead TO-263 surface mount package. A standard series of inductors are available from several different manufacturers optimized for use with the LM296 series. This feature greatly simplifies the design of switch-mode power supplies. Other features include a guaranteed ±4% tolerance on output voltage under specified input voltage and output load conditions, and ±1% on the oscillator frequency. External shutdown is included, featuring typically 80 µa standby current. Self protection features include a two stage frequency reducing current limit for the output switch and an over temperature shutdown for complete protection under fault conditions. FEATURES 3.3,, 12, and adjustable output versions Adjustable version output voltage range, 1.2 to 37 ±4% max over line and load conditions Available in TO-220 and TO-263 packages Guaranteed 3A output load current Input voltage range up to 40 Requires only 4 external components Excellent line and load regulation specifications 10 khz fixed frequency internal oscillator TTL shutdown capability Low power standby mode, IQ typically 80 µa High efficiency Uses readily available standard inductors Thermal shutdown and current limit protection ORDERING INFORMATION Output oltage ADJ APPLICATIONS Simple high-efficiency step-down (buck) regulator On-card switching regulators Positive to negative converter Package Type LM296S-3.3 LM296S-.0 LM296S-12 LM296S-ADJ TO-263 LM296T-3.3 LM296T-.0 LM296T-12 LM296T-ADJ TO-220 PIN CONNECTION Bent and Staggered Leads, Through Hole Package -Lead TO-220 (T) Surface Mount Package -Lead TO-263 (S) Order Number LM296T-3.3, LM296T-.0, LM296T-12 or LM296T-ADJ Order Number LM296S-3.3, LM296S-.0, LM296S-12 or LM296S-ADJ 1

Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is intended to be functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. Note 2: The human body model is a 100 pf capacitor discharged through a 1.k resistor into each pin. Note 3: Typical numbers are at 2 C and represent the most likely norm. Note 4: All limits guaranteed at room temperature (standard type face) and at temperature extremes (bold type face). All room temperature limits are 100% production tested. All limits at temperature extremes are guaranteed via correlation using standard Statistical Quality Control (SQC) methods. All limits are used to calculate Average Outgoing Quality Level (AOQL). Note : External components such as the catch diode, inductor, input and output capacitors, and voltage programming resistors can affect switching regulator system performance. When the LM296 is used as shown in the Figure 1 test circuit, system performance will be as shown in system parameters section of Electrical Characteristics. Note 6: The switching frequency is reduced when the second stage current limit is activated. Note 7: No diode, inductor or capacitor connected to output pin. Note 8: Feedback pin removed from output and connected to 0 to force the output transistor switch ON. Note 9: Feedback pin removed from output and connected to 12 for the 3.3,, and the ADJ. version, and 1 for the 12 version, to force the output transistor switch OFF. Note 10: IN = 40.

Standard Test Circuits and Layout Guides As in any switching regulator, layout is very important. Rapidly switching currents associated with wiring inductance can generate voltage transients which can cause problems. For minimal inductance and ground loops, the wires indicated by heavy lines should be wide printed circuit traces and should be kept as short as possible. For best results, external components should be located as close to the switcher lc as possible using ground plane construction or single point grounding. If open core inductors are used, special care must be taken as to the location and positioning of this type of inductor. Allowing the inductor flux to intersect sensitive feedback, lc groundpath and C OUT wiring can cause problems. When using the adjustable version, special care must be taken as to the location of the feedback resistors and the associated wiring. Physically locate both resistors near the IC, and route the wiring away from the inductor, especially an open core type of inductor. 7
